more than one mx record whitelist_from_rcvd option
hi all ;
i have used "whitelist_from_rcvd" option for spamassassin and it works successfully if domain has only one mx record . for instance i have domain.com and it has only one mx record . the below line is used users who have email address "*@domain.com".
whitelist_from_rcvd *@domain.com domain.com
what i wonder is what will happen if the "domain.com" has more than one mx record ?
how should i configure local.cf if the domain has more than one mx record ?

whitelist_from_rcvd has nothing to do with MX records. It matches an
address to a server host name pattern.
If an email domain emits mail from multiple hosts with differing domain
names you can simply use more than one whitelist_from_rcvd entry...
whitelist_from_rcvd *@domain.com domain.com
whitelist_from_rcvd *@domain.com here2.example.com
